Quote: A hero who is as omnipotent as Superman is boring as hell.The flesh is invulnerable, but the spirit can be broken. Quote: There would be no conflict in the world. Any war, he could sweep in and single-handedly end it if this book had an iota of realism to it.Yes, but doing so would just spark further wars and bloodshed. But then, you've just hit on the first act of the Superman movie I'll never write! Quote: Plus, he works at a newspaper company full of journalists who can't tell that this reporter looks exactly like Superman, except with glasses. Yeah, okay. He also combs his hair differently! And slouches! I think Superman's a terrific character; he's just usually written half-assed. All Star Superman got it right. Joe Casey's pacifist Superman got it right. But it's tough. | |||||||
